O God, Today We May Forget

Author: Nellie H. Butler Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 O God, today we may forget How awful and how great art Thou, The terrors that our sins have set Around Thy throne, about Thy brow; Thy will, unsearchable to man, Thy power that hath encompassed all— That whirled the spheres, ere time began, And marked rebellious angels’ fall. 2 O Jesus, now we cannot weep; Thy cross transfigured seems to rise. Celestial armies round it keep Eternal vigil in the skies. We cannot feel Thy suffering, Nor see Thy coronet of thorn; We only hear the seraphs sing That Christ, the Prince of Peace, is born. 3 O Holy Ghost, our Father’s gift, Suffuse our inmost beings, till Immortal joy our spirits lift, And holds them captive to Thy will. Today Thou dost not come to chide, Or bring our guilt before Thy face; But, pure and clean, we may abide In Thine own secret dwelling place. 4 A little child to us is given, A tender halo on His head, His smile hath caught the light of Heaven, And human woe is comforted! He sleeps in every stricken breast, He gazes into weary eyes. And lo! a blessèd peace and rest Steals on our hearts from Paradise. 5 Ah, soul of mine, canst thou withstand The presence of that Child divine, Or thrust aside the little hand He lays so trustingly in thine? Oh! join the world’s great hymn of love, That never ending, rapturous lay! While cherubim and saints above Adore the Babe of Christmas day. Used With Tune: CREATION

Stupendous Grace

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Stupendous grace! and can it be Lyrics: 1 Stupendous grace! and can it be Designed for rebels such as we? O let our ardent praises rise High as our hopes beyond the skies! This flesh, by righteous vengeance slain, Might ever in the dust remain: There guilty spirits sent to dwell Midst all the flames and fiends of hell. 2 But lo! Incarnate Love descends; Down to the sepulcher it bends; Rising, it tears the bars away, And springs to its own native day. Then was our sepulcher unbarred, Then was our path to glory cleared; Then, if that Savior be our own, Did we ascend a heav’nly throne. 3 A moment shall our joy complete, And fix us in that shining seat, Bought by the pangs our Lord endured, And by unchanging truth secured. O may that love, in strains sublime, Be sung to the last hour of time! And let eternity confess, Thro’ all its rounds, the matchless grace.

Come Forth, Ye Men of Every Race and Nation!

Author: Jay Holmes Smith Appears in 3 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. Come forth, ye men of every race and nation! We are making God's new world for all the songs of men: Our hearts unite in daring expectation, For the matchless Lord of life doth tread this earth again. Behold, He comes as first He came To write upon the hearts of men in words of living flame His Spirit of heroic love, That one redemptive purpose through this age may move! 2. Awake, O sons of privilege and power, For the dispossessed of earth to God for justice cry! Let eager hands restore their rightful dower, Lest the clamour of our greed His providence deny. The last, the least, the lost are ours; To their emancipation we devote our ardent powers. While they are bound can we be free? The knights of service choose the nobler liberty. 3. Though ruthless power may wield its weapons gory We hold ourselves for Thee all loyalties above. Though storms of hate may rage in empty glory In the splendour of the Dawn we see Thy cross of love. With healing rays it gleams afar, And radiates its deathless hope from star to flaming star. We march with Thee where martyrs trod, Till all the sons of men become the sons of God.

Lord In The Unbeginning Years

Author: John Bowring Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Lord! in the unbeginning years Lyrics: 1 Lord! in the unbeginning years, Whose course is wrapped in trackless night, Ere Thou hadst launched the heavenly spheres, Or waked this wandering world to light; What were Thy words, Thy works, and how Didst Thou Thy glorious march record? For Thou wert great and good, as now, Of love the source, of light the Lord. 2 And in the unending ages, far Beyond the utmost reach of mind, When all that is, and all that are, Shall leave not e’en a wreck behind: Oh! what shall be Thy bright career, Lord of the eternal, changeless will? Thou will be there supreme, as here— All wise, all good, almighty still! 3 Yes! shrouded in the mystery, The past, the future’s dark abyss, Bright clouds of splendor circle Thee, And light Thy path from bliss to bliss. This is our faith, our hope, our trust, Through thought’s immeasurable range, Time is a dream, and man is dust— But Thou—but Thou canst never change!

Welcome The Bright Millennial Day

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Welcome the bright millennial day When former things are passed away, When earth in righteousness renewed, Blooms as at the beginning good! Wine from the mountain tops distills, And milky currents from the hills, Rivers of living water rise, Pure as their Fountain in the skies. 2 Forth issuing from Jehovah’s throne Sent by the Father and the Son, The Holy Ghost His fullness pours In glorious, everlasting showers; The King of saints resides below, His Spirit doth our vale o’erflow, Brings back the garden of the Lord, And shows us paradise restored.
